HEAD-RESET FOR RAILWAY-CARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 322,843, dated July 21,1885.

Application filed February 5, 1885. (N 0 model.)

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES MUNAGLE, of Milwaukee, in the county ofMilwaukee, and in the State of WVisconsin, have invented 5 certain newand useful Improvements in Passenger-Rests for Cars, 81.0.; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof.

My invention relates to the inner fitting of IO railroad-cars; and itconsists in asupplemental rest, as will be fully described hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of my device, and Fig. 2 is aside view of the same.

A, Fig. 1, is the side of a car. B and B are two of the ordinary seats,and O is my improved rest in the position it is designed to occupy whenready for use.

D, Fig. 2, is a metal strap that is to be se- 2o cured to the side ofthe car just behind each seat, and this strap is provided with loops d dd for the reception of pintles c c, that .pro-

ject down from the rear of rest 0.

My rest consists of a metal frame having 2 steps (3'0 the rear step, 0,being on a higher plane than the step 0 and it is from these steps thatthe pintles c c are extended.

'E E arev cushions, each having on its under side a stiff backing, e, toreceive the screws that secure it to its step. I provide the strap 0with three loops, d d (1 so that the cushion may be adjusted to suit theposition the passenger desires to occupy.

The object of my rest is to afford a support which will enable apassenger to assume a re- 3 5 clining position during travel, hisshoulders resting on the cushion E and his head on cushion E.

When my rest is not needed, it may be taken oft by simply lifting itspintles out of the 40 loops d, 8m.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is- 1. A rest consisting of a frame adaptedto be removably secured to the side of the car, and having cushionedsteps, as set forth.

2. The combination of rest 0 and its cushions and pintles with a strap,D, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, atMilwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of VVisoonsin, in thepresence of two Witnesses.

CHARLES MUNAGLE.
